A truly odd sight in Mithrendain, Daelar Dartheos is a drow innkeeper that runs one of the only genuine outsider-friendly inns in Mithrendain, a place called the Singing Flower. Daelar is well-known throughout the entire city as a smiling drow who tells some of the wildest stories. Though many eladrin regard him as an oddity—a drow that is not a bloodthirsty killer—few truly know him well enough to make much of a judgment. Daelar’s nickname, the Blackknife, comes from one of his incredible tales about a dagger he once owned that had a pitch-black blade that crumbled to ash when he came up to the surface. Few believe Daelar’s tales, and most see them as little more than fanciful stories designed to entertain his patrons and keep them in the inn for a little while longer. Despite his friendly exterior, Daelar keeps all his patrons at arm’s length at all times. He might seem friendly, but no one really knows about his past, and Daelar would like to keep it that way.
